Hey guys, I finally have built a fermentation mini fridge hooked up to an STC-1000 with heating and cooling controls. Obviously, I will draw the cooling side from the fridge, but I have a question about the safety of the heating side. I have done a ton of research on this and honestly, the...

I have a mini mystery I need help figuring out. Okay, so I have a kegerator that works totally fine (no leaks) and my co2 tanks normally last a few kegs. BUT two times I have had a brand new CO2 go empty before it made it through one keg. To explain further, both times this happened the co2...

Anyone have any thoughts about cloning sixpoint's Hi Res? It's absolutely amazing and I'd love hear thoughts about possible ingredients. -Rooster

To make a long story short, I got a stuck sparge when doing a heavy grain bill (really it was one out of a dozen batches that was 25#, but it bothered me nonetheless). I attributed this to grain sneaking under my false bottom around the edges because it didn't sit flush against the inside edge...

Let me just first say wow are these babies good! I was brewing with some buddies yesterday and I remembered an old episode of brewing tv where Dawson made a hot scotchy to warm himself up. I was always intrigued by the idea, but I never remember to do it. I figured it was the perfect time to do...

I absolutely had to share this find with the rest of the brewing world. I have have been looking for a slick way to display my labels on the front of my kegerator so that people will know what is on tap. I have thought about the obvious solutions of just taping the label below the faucet or...

Just finished making my ribcage-style Copper Immersion Wort Chiller and I wanted to share some pictures. I ultimately chose to go with 50 feet of 1/2" copper and interwove it so that it will maximize the amount of copper surface area. I also liked the idea of adding some copper wire for...

So I made a diy hop spider and I got the 5 gallon size nylon paint strainer bag. The nylon bag physically touches the bottom of the kettle...is this okay? Can the bag handle the heat on the bottom of the kettle? If it helps, I'm using a sq14 propane burner for my heating source. Also the paint...

I recently scored a Sanyo 4910 fridge that I am looking to convert into a 2 tap kegerator. Unfortunately, I only have pin-lock kegs, which will not fit side-by-side in this fridge. I know that the fridge can be modified to fit the pin-lock kegs, but I would prefer to keep in as is and use the...

As the title states: Which surly all grain clone recipe should I brew next? Northern brewer has all grain kits for bender, furious, cynic, and bitter. To preface this a little bit, I've actually not been able to get my hands on anything from surly yet, so I'm going into this kind of blind. My...

Hi all, I'm actually on holiday right now in and around Stockholm, Sweden and wanted to know if there are any cool craft breweries that I should check out. Also, let me know if there is any cool brews that I can get over here that may not be available in America and I'll search them out. If...

Hi all, I came across a very interesting find on craiglist today. The guy has two "super chef" series 1282 military issue 10-gallon stainless steel food/beverage dispensers. I have never seen these before, but as soon as I saw them, I thought to myself, is this the perfect brewing kettle...

I recently bought two Blichmann Boilermaker Kettles 10 Gallon size and I only need one. I am selling one I am not using for $300. Willing to ship to continental US at buyers expense, with payment in hand.

DIY Guide: MLT from Igloo 10-Gallon Commercial (yellow) Water Cooler Let me start out this DIY guide by saying that the inspiration and instructions came almost verbatim from FlyGuy's original thread (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cheap-easy-10-gallon-rubbermaid-mlt-conversion-23008/)...
